I met with the property owner yesterday. He has had recent health issues and has had difficulty making contact with staff. He is emailing a written request that will contain a schedule for resolution of this complaint

Site visit last week revealed substantial clean up. This person operates a lawnmower repair business, and as such is allowed to have OPERABLE lawn mowers in the rear yard as long as they are being repaired.

What was initially reported appeared to be a lawn mower junkyard. What I inspected was a largely cleaned up site.

Please contact our office with questions about the ordinance or how it is being applied. (919) 965-9841, ext. 1007 (Code Enforcement Officer Carrie Ayn McLean)
